Hello,
I have been always a noob in RF/Microwave. When reading a datasheet for an attenuator/amplifier. There is always a rating for the maximum input power in dBm. I understand that power in watts = 10^((Pdbm-30)/10) but if I want to calculate the maximum voltage based on this power is it calculated based on the 50 ohm impedance?
Does this mean that a maximum input power of 10 dBm is equivalent to 0.707 Volts only?
Thank you very much in advance!
